The first draft of the new California ethnic studies curriculum has been made public. Rightfully, it has produced howls of protests, particularly from California's Jewish community.
--nearly five times as common. But you would never know it from the draft standards. As noted, they discuss Islamophobia but not anti-Semitism. They have a robust section discussing anti-Arab stereotypes but not anti-Semitic stereotypes. The silence about hate and hate crimes against Jews is deafening.
Given that these are supposed to be standards for teaching students about various ethnicities of Californians, one would think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is a foreign policy issue, would not be a part of the curriculum. But the drafters found plenty of room to bring it up anyway and consistently in a manner that vilifies Israel.
Comparing Israel to South Africa is as one-sided as a curriculum can get. The curriculum is even more one-sided since it mentions nothing about any of the reasons that Israel remains in the West Bank, such as legitimate fear that the West Bank will fall under Hamas control if Israel withdraws. Hamas is a terrorist organization that regularly launches rockets at Jewish civilian's homes and schools and diverts international aid to build terrorist tunnels.
